Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 505 The Heavenly and Earthly Fiends Immortal Peach Tree

Sanzang, dressed in a simple, spotless monk's robe, had his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and a hint of understanding flashed in his clear eyes, which was then replaced by a deeper sense of caution.

He clasped his hands together, turned his gaze to the Taoist temple, and said in a serious tone: "This temple is called 'Zhenyuan Temple,' and it is the place where a Taoist master with great supernatural powers and extremely high seniority secluded himself for cultivation."

I originally thought I wouldn't bother this place on this trip, but unexpectedly, I was drawn here by some unseen force.

This venerable elder's Taoist title is "Nine Heavens Pure Source Responding to Thunder and Transforming into Wondrous Existence Universal Salvation True Lord".

His cultivation level is unfathomable, and he is also the master of this place.

You must follow me into the temple, and be careful in your words and actions, and absolutely must not be disrespectful or presumptuous in the slightest.

This True Lord's temper is unpredictable; if one offends him, the consequences are uncertain.

After calmly saying this, Sanzang couldn't help but curse inwardly. The people of the Yuanmo Sect were truly shameless. He thought they would secretly sabotage the mission in the Eastern Wilderness, but he didn't expect them to move their entire mountain gate here, thus blocking the path to the pilgrimage.

Moreover, judging from this celestial aura, it seems they've been waiting for over a hundred years.

Thinking of this, Sanzang couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, and many thoughts came to mind.

The words of Sanzang immediately stirred up waves in Xu Yunfan's heart.

The Nine Heavens Pure Source responds to thunder and receives transformation, the wondrous existence universally saves the true lord.

One of the Nine Immortal Mountains of the Yuanshi Sect is a True Lord who sits on the immortal mountain for many years, detached from worldly affairs. He has not even opened up any lineage of Dharma. If one did not specifically seek out the Nine Immortal Mountains of the Yuanshi Sect, one would not know that such a True Lord exists.

Moreover, Sanzang's momentary surprise and the slight furrowing of his brow clearly conveyed a message.

Arriving here to visit this True Lord was by no means his original plan for this trip.

This deviated from his expectations, or rather, from the expectations of the Pure Land of Bodhi.

Xu Yunfan's consciousness instantly became active; perhaps he could devise something.

"Sure enough, it's here!"

The Pure Land of Bodhi is vigorously promoting the walking Buddhist ritual in the Eastern Wilderness in order to guide the legendary Buddha of Freedom to attain Buddhahood.

Such a massive undertaking could hardly be ignored by the Wancheng Sword Sect and the Yuanshi Sect, both top powers in the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm.

In nearly ten years, how far have Sanzang and his companions traveled?

In the chaotic and vast Eastern Wilderness, this efficiency was extremely unreasonable.

There must be someone constantly setting up, guiding, and creating obstacles, and even secretly manipulating the cause-and-effect path.

Xu Yunfan was almost certain that this sudden appearance, known as "Nine Heavens Pure Source Responding to Thunder and Transforming into the Wondrous Existence Universal Salvation True Lord," was the product of direct intervention by the high-ranking members of the Yuanshi Sect or the Wancheng Sword Sect.

The purpose of waiting here specifically for Sanzang and his party is nothing more than to test them, obstruct them, or... make a deal.

We must not allow the Buddhist rituals of the Bodhi Pure Land to continue so smoothly.

Xu Yunfan's expression immediately became excited.

Given the nature of the Yuanshi Sect, those True Lords would most likely do things that harm others without benefiting themselves, especially when facing the Wancheng Sword Sect or the Bodhi Pure Land Sect, they would be like chickens on steroids.

At this moment, the vermilion gate of the Taoist temple creaked open.

Two young Taoist boys, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with their hair styled in double buns, red lips and white teeth, and dressed in green robes, walked out slowly. They were quite well-mannered, and their clear eyes held a hint of scrutiny.

"The abbot is aware that all the masters have come from afar and have had a long and arduous journey. He has specially ordered Qingfeng (Mingyue) to come and welcome them."

The two young Taoist priests bowed respectfully, their words and manners impeccable.

Wu Neng and Wu Jing toned down their wild behavior and became more cautious in their words and actions. They couldn't afford to offend a Golden Core True Monarch.

Xu Yunfan activated his permissions directly, taking over the clone Wukong. He lowered his eyelids, concealing the fleeting glint in his eyes, perfectly hiding his true divine sense beneath Wukong's unruly appearance. Sanzang, on the other hand, seemed to sense the sudden change in Wukong's aura and subconsciously turned around.

Wukong's eyes showed a hint of eagerness.

"Master, is this True Lord very powerful?"

Sanzang immediately understood and couldn't help but solemnly say, "You must not be presumptuous."

Xu Yunfan deliberately acted as if his clone Wukong was slightly unwilling but had no choice but to agree.

The group followed the young Taoist priest into the temple.

Entering the Taoist temple and passing through the front courtyard, a bright and open space suddenly appears.

Inside the central courtyard, instead of an ordinary incense hall, stood a strange, towering ancient tree.

This tree has gnarled and twisted branches, its trunk is as vigorous as a dragon, and its leaves are lush and green, resembling peach leaves.

What is most eye-catching is that the branches and leaves are laden with abundant fruit.

The fruits were crystal clear, as big as fists, and their surfaces were surrounded by a dreamlike shimmering light.

It may be swirling in the breeze, or emanating a fiery aura, or condensing into frost, or entwined with the sharp energy of metal and stone, or permeated with the heavy earth element...

Each fruit exudes a different aura, but without exception, they are all exceptionally pure and refined, as if they contain some kind of primordial essence of creation.

Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends!!!

Xu Yunfan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, he really didn't expect that the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends could be created by human beings.

He even saw that the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Qi required for the Divine Firmament Nine Heavens Profound Sky Immortal True Scripture were also present in it.

When the young Taoist Qingfeng Mingyue saw that the eyes of the Tang Monk and his disciples were drawn to the immortal peaches, a hint of pride and smugness appeared on his face.

Qingfeng pointed at the peach tree, his tone tinged with pride, and said, "Masters, please look. This is a spiritual root cultivated by my abbot with countless efforts. It is called the 'Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Immortal Peach Tree.' It is no ordinary thing."

Each peach on this tree contains an incomparably pure 'Heavenly Qi' or 'Earthly Qi'.

If one were fortunate enough to consume one, it would be equivalent to absorbing a wisp of Heavenly or Earthly Essence without any refining required. This would have incredible benefits for enhancing cultivation, tempering the physical body, and comprehending the laws of heaven and earth!

"Heavenly and Earthly Fiend Immortal Peaches?!"

Xu Yunfan's heart skipped a beat.

Even with his years of experience practicing the "Lin" technique, which allowed him to remain calm even when Mount Tai collapsed before him, his heart was almost overwhelmed with turbulent waves at this moment.

Damn, there is such a precious fruit tree in the world.

His gaze was sharp, instantly sweeping over the abundant fruit on the peach tree.

Fire Spirit Qi, Taiyi Refined Metal Qi, Weak Water Qi, Xuanming Earth Qi...

At least five of the peaches emitted an aura that highly matched several key auxiliary celestial and terrestrial qi recorded in the later cultivation of the "Divine Firmament Nine Heavens Profound Sky Undying True Scripture".

Especially when it comes to finally condensing the Undying Golden Body, if one can integrate these unique Gang Sha Qi and combine them with the Star Geng Metal and the Nine Heavens Thunderfire Origin, the Divine Firmament Profound Firmament Undying Body that one ultimately achieves will have a foundation so deep and a potential so terrifying that it is absolutely no less than the Purple Star Heavenly Gang Earthly Fiend foundation of the legendary Divine Firmament Nine Chen True Lord, and may even surpass it on some levels.

"We must get our hands on it no matter what!"

The consciousness of the body makes a decision instantly.

The clone Wukong was inherently restless and impulsive, so it was normal for him to do some audacious things.

Moreover, as beings born with innate spiritual origins and practicing the Victorious Tathagata Sutra of the Buddha of Amitabha, the Pure Land of Bodhi Zen will definitely protect them.
